Here's the thing. When I started Twice what we did was re-use old things and give them a new lease of life, hence the name. I remember looking at a pile of pretty cups and saucers and thinking - those would make good candles. I made about 20 and took them down to the Country Living Fair and sold out. At the time I hadn't seen any anywhere else - but now, of course, they're everywhere. I'm not saying anyone got the idea from me - I'm quite sure it had been done long before I did it, but my problem is that now I find myself not wanting to make them because so many other people are and, yet, they are so quintessentially Twice. What to do? Not sure.

Carry on, I've made these for years too. I now don't do loads as I used to, I just use the very prettiest cups and saucers I find, so that they are still special.
They seem to appeal to all age groups and are a wonderful re-use for cups that otherwise would either be thrown away or just gather dust unloved at the back of a cupboard.

Carry on!
I think you're right - just keep on doing what we do!
